The Maze: Difference between revisions

The first two levels are easy to complete. But as the third level is reached, the walls begin to shrink and have sharp turns, making it difficult to avoid touching them. This usually makes the player concentrate on the screen. Then, near the first curve to the left of the maze sharp part (The game also knows if the player is cheating; if they use right-click), a close-up image of [[Regan MacNeil]] from the 1973 supernatural horror film <i>[[wikipedia:The Exorcist|The Exorcist]]</i> pops up along with a loud, distorted scream that plays twice, scaring the player.

The game was uploaded to Jeremy's now-defunct personal website, Winterrowd.com in 2005. The original version of the game had some slight differences in color, where orange/yellow with alternative text was used instead of cyan. There's an alternative version of the game that is used in the comedy television series <i>[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]</i>, where Regan at the end is replaced with the one from [[What's Wrong?]],<ref>youtu.be/qNW7Zzgapsg?t=30</ref> due to concerns regarding copyrighted content.

<i>The Maze</i> has been parodied on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CD0ZbvIyQE Saturday Night Live]. There is also a game called [[Save Justin Bieber]], created by Jeremy Winterrowd himself, which replaces some parts of the game with a picture of Justin Bieber instead of Regan, and the maze color is light purple instead of cyan.

In <i>[[wikipedia:The Simpsons|The Simpsons]]</i> episode "<i>[[wikipedia:Flanders' Ladder|Flanders' Ladder]]</i>" ([[wikipedia:The Simpsons (season 29)|Season 29]]) the opening segment has Bart Simpson prank his sister Lisa by having her play a game called "''Genius Maze''", which is a direct spoof of The Maze, however, in this spoof, the jumpscare happened very early on in the 2nd level and has a popup of a zombie, instead of Regan.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=502ZX1fAKzk</ref>''<nowiki/>''
